Other crops: Descriptive Lists (updated 27 August 2021)
Descriptive Lists (DL) – rather than Recommended Lists (RL) – are used where recommendation is not appropriate but for which there is a wish to provide some descriptive data within the RL system.
Far fewer trials are run than for the RL and differences between varieties should be treated with more caution.

Commentary
Harvest Results commentary
Written by our in-house variety experts and published alongside the latest Harvest Results, our trial commentary puts varietal developments in perspective.
Our website also includes information on commercial harvest progress across Great Britain.
***Important***
Results from individual trial sites should not be used to make conclusions on variety performance. The RL is based on information taken from trials across the UK over several seasons – which comprise four years for oilseeds and five years for cereals. These averages provide better information for comparison between varieties. When more results are available, validation procedures will examine cross-site differences further. As more information becomes available from the current harvest, this will contribute to the over-trials averages.
